PSAPMSGDSPSTAT table and populating when the app server is started.

Hello. I am trying to automate the weekly refreshing of a "Sandbox" environment. I have everything working, except after the refresh, the "Domain Status" page always shows that the dispatchers are INACT. I truncate this table during my refresh script, and notice that when I start the app server, it gets populated. Is there a setting in the app server config file that will default it to ACT???

If not, if I add TSQL to alter the table value STATUSSTRING to ACT, does it in fact make the domains/dispatchers active? Or is the online page doing more behind the scenes when I set the "ALL DOMAINS ACTIVE"??? Again, these records get populated in the table "PSAPMSGDSPSTAT" when I start the app server after a refresh.
